where do you get your tubes/pipes
 
i was thinking it would be cheaper to weld my own pipes up i was thinking in the $50 range. but jcwhitney is like 35 dollars each 90 angle for 2 inch piping. that would be over like $250 for a whole fmic setup without the intercooler. autozones tubes are pieces of ---- there really thin and have gay bump bends. and all the muffler shops dont even want to make an exhaust from the turbo back or ---- with intercooler piping. so what should i do for some low priced good quality steel tubes? i was going to get a nice welder so i could make an exhaust and my charge piping and header.

Here ya go, tried and true. I used this exact kit myself and even had extra leftover to make my downpipe.

would i be better off buying the same bends at a metal store or something? thats kinda expensive just for tubes. yea they look better then autozone pipes but there 3X more the price.

Well sure if you can find mandrel bends locally for cheaper, go right ahead. But that's why I ordered from them-nobody around here sells mandrels locally.

I buy all my bends from JCWhitney.com unless someone is selling them cheaper on here. It is usually about the same price between the two. Unless there is some sale.

You did not find the right pipes on JCWhitney if you say they are $35 for a 2" 90o Don't buy 90's anyway, a 180 is cheaper b/c you get almost any bend you need. then just weld up straight pipe off the end.
